re: PayPal Wire Transfer Scam

Got a Paypal money request email from someone I didn't know. Knew not to click the link and logged into Paypal and the request is there, cancelled transaction. The next day another request from someone else. Logged into Paypal to check that one, clicked on the request and it had a note " If you don't recognize this request call this number. They answered Customer Service or something of that nature and a offered to fix my Paypal. I (feel like an idiot) let them take over my computer. Got some blue screens off and on. Had me log into my bank account and it shows the money request had been paid and they would refund the transaction. They put the refund money in but way to much and said they needed it back. Did a wire transfer to give them their money back. My bank account screens showed the transactions and they were all fake. I was taking screen shots of all the screens including the account it went to.
My computer was infected and had to have it debugged.

That's the classic scam from India. They take control of your computer, log into your bank account then while your screen goes blank they mess with the HTML code in the "inspect element" section of Google Chrome showing too much money was transferred into your bank account. Now you need to refund them.

For entertainment and educational purposes I would recommend kitboga YouTube channel. He scams the scammers. It's pretty funny. The scammers get so mad.
